Glowing lights reflecting off the rippling water, sailors and passengers making merry aboard decks awash in holiday decor, crowds lining the water’s edge to watch the spectacle go by – it was all part of the 39th annual Dana Point Harbor Boat Parade of Lights, which opened its four-night sail Friday.

Dozens of boats compete for titles including Judges’ Choice, Best Theme, Best Animation and Best Use of Lights.
